I still have never watched GOT.... Is it really as good as everyone acts like it is? Or is this another case of the Harry Potters?

We didn't watch it at all until just before season 4 started. It just didn't look like our kind of thing. Then the first 3 seasons were rerun and we binge watched them all in 2 weeks before S4 came on!

If you like fantasy/historical drama with graphic violence, and language to match, then it's definitely worth a watch. You will see book purists hating on the show now because it has got ahead of the novels, but I haven't read any of them (and probably never will now) so I'm still enjoying the show.

I do like violence and nudity, lol, I don't normally like fantasy - that is why I never watched it. I did like LOTR a lot though, so I guess not all fantasy-type things are off the table. I am in no risk of ruining the show with the books. I don't really go for fantasy movies, but I specifically hate fantasy novels. I'll never read that series.

I'm generally not much of a fan of fantasy stuff either but I binged the first 5 seasons in an absurd amount of time.  Didn't think I would like it but absolutely love it.

I might give it a try one of these days, if only to make all the constant fucking memes and references make sense, lol. I definitely feel out of the loop, Haha.

You'll enjoy Drago, lol.

I already enjoy Drago very very much.

Wrong Drago...

So who knows about the Jon/Dany story, just Sam & Bran?

Samwise Gamgee.  He was dropping some eaves.

Now that the GOT multiverse has expanded, perhaps Euron Greyjoy sailed to Essos to recruit some Dinobots to help fight the dragons.

I am pleased with how they adapted the show from the books overall.  I cannot think of a much better adaptation to be honest.  There are certainly things I do not like/agree with, but they also mishmashed some characters in the interest of simplicity that were good moves for a show.

There isn't much fantasy at all.  I tuned in to the first episode way back when and thought it was going to be all fantasy as there is a touch of it in the first episode but I loved it.

Up to S3 E6. Didn't realize that the actor who plays the older Tommen was a Lannister squire that was killed off in S3 E5 but also is credited in S3 E3. You only saw his face for a second in E5.

Watched the Red Wedding with my son the other night. His reaction was great. I started getting a little amped up in anticipation. 1st time I had seen it since it originally aired.

Are those bones just from their feeding?
We're up to S5E1 with my son. 40 days, 26 episodes to go.We had to put it on pause for a few weeks because he has SAT's this weekend.

I got goosebumps when the dragons flew over Sansa.  Going to be awesome.

Jaime Lannister finally fighting on the right side. A lot of characters are going to die, and some probably again. This is going to be a hell of a murderous season.

Holy crap that trailer is badass!!  
I'm re-watching all the seasons again.  I'm halfway through season 3.  Hope I can get them all re-watched before April 14th!

Jason P

Well at least we know Tormund and Beric survived the zombie dragon attack.  Gendry Baratheon is back too.

No real insight on how the army of the Kingdom of Bud Light will factor in though ...

First thing I thought. I got chills watching this.
On the downside, I need to once again watch a refresher video to get caught up with all that I forgot happened.
